ImageWidth = 20;
cmapimg = repmat(reshape(cmap,size(cmap,1),1,3), 1, ImageWidth, 1);
Now use your favorite image writing routine on cmapimg. The result will be a vertical stripe of colors ImageWidth pixels wide with the rows all the same color. (That is, to store it as an image, you really only need a single pixel of each color, but that is hard for humans to see, so this code broadens it out to ImageWidth identical pixels.)
